Flying Ace,

You are correct. The apartments "Daybreak Place" are located across Daybreak Parkway which acts somewhat as a density barrier of sorts. I agree that you also need to voice your opinion via the City of South Jordan. However, I would urge you to attempt to gain a consensus from your neighbors. Personally, if I were you, I would get signatures from every home owner on Top Crest voicing their opinion for or against the proposed development. That will carry weight at any future meeting. You need to get a hold of a copy of the proposed plans so that you can show people exactly what KL wants to build. And I do know that some people at SJC have reservations to such a project. The meeting with Kennecott was really a courtesy on their part. They really do not have to do such things. Considering how they treated you, I think that I would have preferred them not to have the meeting at all as it seems that they did not even want to gain the perspective of residents. This "stakeholder" meeting seems to be more of a "well we have to meet with them so lets say that we did and get it over with" engagement. Another question that I would like to know is this: how many residents were at the meeting? I know people have busy lives, but this sort of thing needs to be a priority if Kennecott Land is to take resident's opinions seriously. Kudos to you for being involved. I just fear that this whole issue has been brought up too late. The plans and everything have already been drawn up, money invested, etc. Looking at it from a planning perspective Topcrest itself seems to be the transition (transect planning) between the lower density and higher density housing. Not the best of transitions. In looking at the site though, I'm not sure what else could be constructed there. Certainly not a 4 story building, but placing any type of single family residence (row homes, townhomes, etc.) does not seem feasible as the parkway is a main artery through Daybreak. It has to be a multifamily residence, but it is all in the design. Keep me updated. If you want to e-mail off-line just ask scoop for my e-mail address.
